Welcome to the Broadhurst One-Name Study

                                                                                     registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies  ( Member 4963.)

               The website has been created to enable anybody with an interest in the  surnames  Broadhurst and Broadhouse and their variants including: 

               Broadis, Broadist, Brodest,  Brodis, Brodist, Behurst, Brodhurst,  Brodhouse, Bradhurst  to share and receive  information for their family history research.

                In connection with the one -name study I run the Broadhurst Family Group which provides members with a quarterly newsletter and complete access to all the study                         databases and the website containing family trees. Membership of the group costs £12 per annum.

     What is a One-Name Study?

         A one-name study is defined as "A project researching all occurrences of a  surname, as opposed to a particular pedigree (ancestors of one person) or

         descendancy (descendants of one person or couple)."

     Aims of the Study

        The aim of this one-name study is to gather and provide access to information  on the surname and variants from any available source worldwide. 

         I have been researching the surname and its variants for over 20 years.  In  that time I have received extensive help and input from researchers both 

         in  the UK and overseas.  With their help I have built up a large database of  references to these surnames from a variety of sources.

         I do not intend to make the database available on the internet but I am  very happy to share information with anyone and to search the database

         for particular individuals. While I try to ensure the accuracy of all the  material I hold, no responsibility is accepted for it and researchers are

         advised to check original sources.

     Want to know more?

         If you are descended from a Broadhurst/Broadhouse (or variants) would you  like to know more about your branch of the family?

        I hold a large database relating to over 15,000 individuals including

                    Birth, Marriage and Death registrations, (mainly UK, also Australia, USA, Canada)

                    Census details,

                    Family trees

                    Wills and obituaries

                    Criminal records

        WW1 and WWII documents and

       many other miscellaneous items from around the world.

       Can you help?

               All references sought - worldwide - any-time.

              If you have any information on the Broadhursts, Broadhouses  or variants  however small,  wherever in the world, whenever in time - it will be gratefully received.
